Chapter 508, Heartbeat

"Has Humphrey Paul contacted you?"

The astropathic communication with Holy Terra is still so difficult. The virtual image will flicker severely, and you can't see anything clearly. It's better not to open it to save traffic.

That's how Gu Hang could hear the fatigue and hesitation in Gallardo's words.

"Yes." Gu Hang said calmly, "He wrote me a letter."

"I knew it." Gallardo sighed, and then he said in a sarcastic tone, "The nobles on Holy Terra are now scared like quails by the Iron Fury Stone."

When he said this, he completely forgot that as the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Military Affairs Department, he was also one of the 'Gun Gong Gong'.

He continued, "Even Ou Juren is now terribly scared. He is always worried about what if he can't beat Iron Fury Stone? What if another person like Norberto a hundred years ago comes out? At that time, he will be the biggest person in charge and will have to bear all the responsibilities. Not only will his political career be ruined, but even his life will be in danger! Haha..."

He and his "boss" began to laugh at him.

But from his words, Gu Hang could actually feel that Gallardo also had some fear - at least anxiety.

As for the reason? It's all in his words.

Couldn't Ou Juren encounter the situation he might encounter? If it really came to that, he would probably die faster than Ou Juren!

Once the empire feels that Humphrey Paul's actions are too difficult, will there really be voices of appeasement?

It is very likely.

Especially when there are several consecutive large-scale defeats in the future, this appeasement trend is likely to rise.

If it was a normal situation, it would be fine, but with Tie Nu Shi, you can't be careless at all.

Humphrey Paul is a master of diplomacy, and his thinking... How to say it, he dared to rebel openly today, and dared to concoct the Bauhinia Rebellion a hundred years ago. These behaviors seem to be done by a madman.

However, looking at Paul's specific performance in this series of events, he seems to be a politician who is experienced, good at dancing, knows how to make choices, and is tough when it is necessary and soft when it is necessary.

Even in his heart, he can ignore hatred. The Fury Flame Corps has already forged a blood feud with Gu Hang, but he can still ignore it and invite Gu Hang.

No matter how sincere it is, this attitude is rare.

Moreover, it means that he has strong means.

Otherwise, how dare he invite the alliance like this?

I'm afraid that the Fury Flame Corps has fallen out with Tie Kai before the alliance has agreed.

It must be to solve the internal problems first, to ensure that even if the news is leaked out, or even if the alliance really goes crazy and agrees, Fury will not turn against him.

From this perspective, Gu Hang believes that Paul must have a way to successfully end this war.

Rapid expansion, sweeping across large tracts of imperial territory, one glorious victory after another... all of these will become a heavy burden on the Holy Terra government. Internally, there are appeasers cultivated by Iron Fury Stone or simply wild ones jumping up and down, and Paul makes some compromises and pays some prices...

Is it really impossible to negotiate?

That may not be the case.

Gu Hang fully understands the nature of the imperial central government, and he doesn't think it's strange what they will do.

From this perspective, Paul's earlier letter to Gu Hang really moved Gu Hang.

Don't get me wrong, Gu Hang does not intend to rise up as the letter says, and echo Iron Fury Stone in the south and the north.

Isn't that a disease?

Paul's intention was not really to expect Gu Hang to stand on his side.

He was essentially expressing some goodwill to the alliance: I won't go south to cause trouble for you, and you don't go north to cause trouble for me, and maintain general peace.

Gu Hang would certainly be tempted by this.

What he wanted was not to have a relatively long period of recuperation?

The most feared thing was that the two sides had a grudge, and after Iron Fury Stone rebelled, he went south to fight him without saying a word.

There were only three star fields between the two sides!

Originally, I thought this was a very long distance.

But now it seems that this distance is not safe.

Even in the north of the Dragon Eagle Star Field, in the Menghe Star Field belonging to the Eastern Universe, the Fury Flame War Group actually has a strong influence there. They have been active in the Eastern Universe for more than ten years, and Menghe is the main place of activity. Their work in Menghe was fruitful, and then the Iron Teeth Green Tide broke out, and Fury Flame took the opportunity to go south to prepare for activities in Dragon Eagle.

If there was no alliance, I'm afraid it would not have happened.

Although they are not neighbors, they are not far away either. If Paul really goes south, even if he is not the main force but just a small group, the development momentum of the alliance will be interrupted and they will be forced to enter a state of war to deal with the enemy.

The main problem is the navy, which is too difficult to fill.

Now, Paul said that as long as the alliance does not go north, he will not come down... Isn't this just what he wants?

Let's develop steadily for a while, preferably for four years.

No matter how powerful Iron Fury Stone is, can he overturn the Empire's stall in four years? Impossible.

After four years of development, the strength of the alliance will be even stronger.

Then I will fight Paul!

As for whether to fight Paul or follow Paul, well... it depends on the situation.

In the political field and interest field of this starry sky, where are there eternal friends?

Friends and enemies can be converted into each other.

This is an idea, and Gu Hang did take it into consideration.

Gallardo is also worried about this situation.

He came to complain to Gu Hang about the situation of Holy Terra and talked a lot in a roundabout way. The core goal is to see what Gu Hang's attitude is here.

Gu Hang also gave him a reassurance first.

After patiently listening to his complaints for a long time, Gu Hang said: "Don't worry, Humphrey Paul, the traitor, will never succeed. What happened 120 years ago cannot be replicated today. The Alliance will be their biggest enemy."

Galardo was overjoyed after taking the reassurance pill: "You are worthy of it!"

After being happy, Gallardo asked a very practical and specific question with some embarrassment and seriousness:

"Then... if your alliance is deployed now, what kind of help does it need? If you have any requirements, feel free to ask boldly! I, your brother, am the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs now. I can get you whatever you want!"

Gu Hang smiled.

Of course he understood the subtext:

'Don't just talk nicely, take some practical actions! '
